English Translation

-5- This was the first time that a Czech officer, the Czech lieutenant HRU/BEC, who is about 28 years old and comes from Bohemia, appeared here. He served as deputy commander and instructor. Twice the Czech captain SUSR also appeared in this house for training and inspection. On his second appearance he gave the following instructions orally: after landing in the Protectorate immediately the parachutes and flight combinations, as well as the material taken with him buried near the point of departure. Scoop is given. Immediately split into two groups of three. The group to which the prisoners belonged was to call at a railway official in Prerau who would provide accommodation pp and would otherwise be of assistance in any way. According to the instructions of this railway official, the double-tracked railway bridge over the Betschwa near Prerau was blown up. Name of the railway official was named. Findings of the Stapoleitstelle Brno have now revealed that it was sentenced to death and shot by the Brno State Court in January 1942 for activity in the resistance movement. Further order for the group: Destruction of the generator in the district heating plant Brno. Contact with the organs of the Czech resistance movement. Here, too, the aforementioned railwayman should be helpful. These orally given instructions were also submitted to the agents in writing, but were taken away after inspection. The individual groups of three received their special orders separately, so that one group did not meet the orders of the other.
